Well, it’s been a long time between drinks, as it were.
Things have gone pretty well since Hairs & Hounds. I clocked up 200km for January (that’s pretty good for me, especially for the last few months as it was consistent) and have been going pretty steadily at about 50km a week, inclusive of one long run.
Unfortunately, I hit a bit of a wall last week. I was fighting the onset of a cold all week. Had a couple of really good runs in the rain and a couple of hard ones two (on the road as opposed to the trail).
Went out for my long run on Saturday morning and blew up completely. My planned 23km turned into a 10km and even that was as much a bushwalk as a run. Nothing in the tank at all and I think, as well as the cold, I was paying the price of not easing up enough after January 13th. Anyway, I’ve taken it easy this week, just an 8km run last night thus far and am planning 12-15 tomorrow morning.
Forget all that nonsense though; the focus of last weekend was the Dusk to Dawn run at Caboolture over Saturday night/Sunday morning. I’ll add my account shortly but suffice to say it’s the most inspiring event I’ve witnessed close up.
